Very nice. Well preserved, too.

Pretty heady stuff for a ship's surgeon though. Ship's surgeons were the poorest of the surgeons. Most of them couldn't get lucrative land-based positions, so they went to sea to get experience.

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Nicely crafted! I'd have to agree with Dread Surgeon; as they were seldom used by even land based surgeons who didn't understand the significance of any microbes to their patients health. They were more often used by those doing research into the world before unseen of tissues and cell structure and the structure of insects and such.
